You are designing a brand-new 'Productivity Alignment Plan' for your electrical service technicians. To synthesize a program that creates a 'win-win'—increasing both the technician's weekly earnings and the company's profitability—which set of rules should you assemble into your final policy?

Scenario: You are designing a 'Tiered Efficiency Incentive' for your service technicians. Your goal is to construct a compensation policy that provides progressively higher rewards as a technician's productivity increases relative to their time on the clock.
